New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul chided Andrew Cuomo after the state’s top prosecutor released a report on Tuesday saying the Democratic governor sexually harassed close to a dozen women and produced a hostile work environment characterized by intimidation tactics.

Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, released the findings following an investigation and said Cuomo repeatedly engaged “in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching” after which he and members of his office engaged in “retaliatory” behavior by “intend[ing] to discredit and disparage” some women who sought to report their experiences. Hochul stopped short of demanding Cuomo resign due to her role as a successor if he were to step down.
